核心畫面

One way to picture it: a hand something away — 'you can go now.' Whether it is a worker, an idea, or a court case, someone with authority sends it away instead of keeping it.

「揮手把某個東西送走」:有權力的一方做了一個手勢,說「你可以走了/這個不用再談了」。被送走的可以是一個員工、一個說法更多收起「揮手把某個東西送走」:有權力的一方做了一個手勢,說「你可以走了/這個不用再談了」。被送走的可以是一個員工、一個說法,也可以是一樁官司——重點不在那個東西本身好不好,而在有人決定不再把它留在場內。dismiss 這個動作是從上往下、由有決定權的人發出的,所以 dismissal 幾乎總是帶著「誰有資格趕走誰」的權力關係。

Three branches

把人送走:解僱

最具體、最容易看見的一種「揮手送走」:被送走的是一個活生生的人和他的工作。

being fired · noun · C1

The act of removing someone from their job, or the fact of being made to leave it.

解僱

把想法送走:不予考慮

同一個揮手手勢,對象換成一個念頭、一個說法或一個人的價值——不是趕出公司,是趕出「值得認真看待」的範圍。

rejecting as unimportant · noun · C1

When someone decides or says that an idea, person, or thing is not important, not serious, or not true.

不予考慮

把案子送走:法庭上的駁回

法律場合裡的同一個手勢:法官讓一樁案子離開法庭,它不再往下走。

A judge's decision to stop a court case so that it does not continue.
